House Millithor in COSQ: part 3

Kilcif: Bugbear/Male (Barbarian/Ranger/Rogue)

Kilcif nods thankfully to Kripp, "Goblin-Big is very thankful."

Though he doesn't want to face the matron he realizes that staying in the underground river is not an option. Pulling out his two immovable rods to start the long climb up,

Once the Quth-maren have been destroyed, Carcelon will heal Dariel with her wand of CLW. (what, ~5 charges?)

"Mother, we should find their lair before they have time to reform and regroup."

The Matron nods to Carcelon's suggestion, "We have some time yet, the Vampires need an hour to recuperate from impermanent death and we must heal our wounded before we proceed. Narcelia must be found, and Marcarius must join us once again in undeath."
"Tierak, a brief report of your flank of the battle, if you please."


She taps Kripp with a wand of Cure Light wounds, "I need you, and you Tierak with your Bebiliths and two unwounded volunteers, to go down to the river and search for Narcelia. Retrieve her, dead or alive."
"Quertus, I leave you in command of the guard of the entrance. You,
(she names two of the Morcanes) ,will assist him."
"The rest of us will proceed, once healed, to Dorina's inner sanctum, to destroy her once and for all."


Ki'Willis glances at Kilcif, and says in a flat voice.
"Kilcif, you would do well to find your courage. You will get no pay for the battles you do not contribute in, and if you do not regain your usefulness soon..."
The threat is left unvoiced, but one of the serpents on her flail turns to look at him hungrily.

She then proceeeds healing the wounded, using as many of the charges of her wand of Cure Light Wounds as necessary.

ooc: What is the tsarran's remaining power in Szith Morcane, that we know of? Kiernan and Laranen remain alive. Whoever interfered by casting the Wall of Stone is still out there. The Wizards are likely to be neutral at the moment, since we have defeated Dorina. Are all the Quth-Maren destroyed? Are any of the soldiers of Szith Morcane skilled enough to pose a threat?

ooc: The rescue mission can use either the carpet or the Drift Disc.

Kilcif: Bugbear/Male (Barbarian/Ranger/Rogue)

Kilcif had kept his head low and avoid the matron but he concluded that luck really wasn’t on his side. He replied dumbly back to her lashing, “Yes Matron I’m not really sure what’s been wrong with me…”

He quickly scampers over to Kripp side and address him while looks back at the Matron, “Goblin-Big volunteers to go with you.”
 

Kripp laughs inwardly, knowing that he has just climbed up and out of the River (The Goblin-Big did the climbing, actually...) and now the Drow Matron would have them return. Shrugging at the illogical nature of her mind (made more so by the change to undeath,most likely),Kripp says 'For climb back down,Kripp is ready,others so as well?'
 

ooc: the carpet of flying was washed away with Narcelia. The driftdisc will ony function for a priestess of Lolth.

Remaining T'sarrens: Dorina, Kiernan and Leonon Morcane, 1 other vampire (possibly Laranen) that you know of. Possibly one or two Quth-Maren. Possibly other undead. Probably some minor flunkie undead.

The soldiers in the barracks ... nobody individually dangerous. They seem to be staying neutral. However, that would change if any T'sarran with authority showed up and gave them an order.

Tierak will report that they were coming in the second wave, but couldn't enter (the wall of stone). The Bebiliths opened a hole, then the Bebiliths were attacked by the Kuo-toa. Tierak will recommend that the non-drow be left on guard duty and not be involved in a fight between two drow noble houses.

After the rescue mission searches for fifteen minutes,they will report that there were no bodies before the part where the river goes completely underground (no air). Only Kripp or people with waterbreakthing will be able to search beyond there.

As Kripp, Kilcif and Tierak are leaving the matron reaches into her sleeve and pulls out a small bone-white scroll. She crouches down besides Marcarius and unrolls the expensive parchment. For a moment she revels in a feeling of melancholia, but then she concentrates on the task at hand. Touching his forehead with one hand she reads the scroll, and a ritual that would normally have taken an hour unfolds in mere seconds.

"Rise, my child, rise. For I have given you life for the second time. Let me hold you in my arms once again, and take comfort in your precense. Rise, and serve me. Rise and take your vengeance on your murderers."


ooc: Create Greater Undead cl 18; Spectre.
 

Carcelon watches warily as the Matron reanimates Marckarius, not entirely certain he'll be happy to be back...

"Though it's not what she expected, it looks like Irae's getting her wish...", she thinks to herself.

As the Matron chants words off the bone white scroll, a phantom materializes above the body of Marckarius. The phantom begins to wail.

"Why have you drawn me back to this place?"

She answers in a motherly tone.
"Why? Are you not pleased? We have some unfinished business to attend to, a little matter of revenge. Your precense is needed, and required. The future of our House lies in the balance, and we must all do our duty.

Come, my child, Dorina awaits"
